Hyatt

Hyatt is a globally recognized hospitality leader, with more than 660 properties in over 50 countries. The company needed a cloud centric IT architecture to support significant expansion in China, South Korea, Japan and other countries. The company also needed to scale secure connectivity for new hotels without new hardware investments, reduce latency and authentication times to improve user experience and, centralize management. Hyatt leveraged Aviatrix and Microsoft Azure to successfully deploy a cloud based design that significantly improved user experience and productivity.

Hyatt’s Requirements and Challenges

Hyatt wanted an agile IT model to support rapid global expansion plans in China and Asia without incurring the complexity and costs of new datacenters

Hyatt needed to securely connect different Azure regions and its data center into one easy-to-manage network that scales as new properties, and applications, and cloud regions are added.

The company needed a solution to centralize ERP applications in China to meet local data sovereignty requirements

Prohibitive latency of more than 500ms to access servers in the US severely impacted user experience

Because of the Aviatrix Gateway product and the company’s outstanding support, we are on target to hit our deployment timelines. Without Aviatrix I have no doubt we would never have gotten out of our cloud ERP POC in Azure China.
